I also got the problem, running Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit with proposed kernel (2.6.38-9.43, currently) and ParaView 3.10.1. I have an Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller, what I would consider a low-end graphics card.
Creating a slice from a rectangular mesh works, but displacing it with the mouse makes the screen lock up, and eventually go black. It seems to keep responding on key presses. In kern.log I found traces of compiz segfaulting on the video driver, among a bunch of other errors regarding dri: Sep 4 23:42:46 ivo-laptop kernel: [10387.689478] compiz[6970]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f2d7a480afe sp 00007fff8aa48b00 error 4 in i965_dri.so[7f2d7a412000+ac000] Stopping compiz makes it possible to move the slice by mouse without locking things up. Something strange happens, still, as the background turns black at the moment it would turn semi-transparent on my nvidia machine. Using immediate mode rendering doesn't help, unfortunately.
